I'm going for the selection day tomorrow as well but mines at 13:00.

I'm so nervous :s-smilie::s-smilie:
I'm not really sure what to expect for the group discussion. Can you go in a little more detail please?
Not the actual questions cos that won't be really fair..
But like...how many people are there in a group? What kind of activities were you told to do during it??

Thank you soo much for your help xx

I'm not allowed to say much as we signed a non disclosure agreement in afraid :frown: but what I will say is that the groups were really small. There's a talk about the course before you go in for your interview . The group discussion is very laid back and casual, and like I said the interviewers are super reassuring. Just make sure you have great posture and eye contact with the people who are speaking because they are looking out for those signs, make sure you smile and give a few reassuring nods to those who are speaking, and try and ask questions at the end! Sorry I couldn't say more, but you have nothing to worry about, good luck and let me know how it goes! Xx

Well, that is a more positive sign! I'm sure they will get back to you very soon. A friend of mine also applied for nursing at Beds but for her to get a date, it took quite some time. Keep us updated :smile:

Thank you so much for your help, I really appreciate it!!! Hopefully, I get accepted on to the course, I really hope so.

Are you firming City? And if so, what nursing branch??

Well it depends on if I get accepted to kings or not! If I do then city will probably be my insurance, if not then it will be my firm. I'm doing child nursing! How about you?

Child Nurse applicant here as well!! :ahee::ahee:

I've applied for Kings as well with my selection day being the day after the City one...And my Middlesex Interview the week after. I was hoping to take a breather after my interviews are over and done with but the waiting is probably even more intense!!!

I had my last interview on Thursday (kings) and I'm so relieved! I know it's hard not to worry while you're waiting for an offer but I'm just so over this whole process, I'm not stressed about it. Whatever happens, happens and I'm sure you'll do so well wherever you go! Good luck in your other interviews ☺️

Hey :smile: did you apply for the main Stirling campus too or just the highland campus?

Really? What type of questions do they ask?


They said they change the questions every time but it's mainly just your opinions on things and what you would do in that situation :smile:

Just the highland campus, stirling is too far away for me to move 😛 what about you?
[QUOTE=Eilidhskye;62578423]Just the highland campus, stirling is too far away for me to move 😛 what about you?

I applied to both! I had an interview for the main campus and when I was there I asked if my interview counted for both the campuses and she said it should but she wasn't 100% sure, so just wondered if anyone else was in the same position haha!😋

Yeah I got that in my email too☺️ I had mine on the 28th January. It was pretty relaxed, there's 7 stations and you get given scenarios at each one and you just say what you would do in that situation! You get 5 minutes on each station which is plenty time btw 😋
